• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the
parts.
Precaution for Brake Control system INFOID:0000000010120016

• Always perform a pre-driving check to drive the vehicle.

• Always check speed and safety while driving the vehicle.
• To operate CONSULT while driving, more than one person is required to be in the vehicle to avoid interfer-
ence to driving and ensure safety.
• Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function EBD function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function or brake assist function oper-
ates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by VDC function, TCS function, ABS function EBD
function brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function or brake assist function that is normally operated.
• When power switch ON or when starting vehicle just after power switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or
motor operating noise may be heard from traction motor compartment. This is normal condition.
• Brake stopping distance may become longer than models without ABS function depending on the road con-
ditions, when ABS function is operated on slippery road like rough road, gravel road or snowy road.
• When a malfunction is indicated, always collect information from the customer about conditions of occur-
rence, estimate cause and perform operation. Check brake booster operation, brake fluid level and brake
fluid leakage, as well as electrical system.
• The optimum performance is achieved by control for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function EBD func-
tion, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function when all of brakes, suspensions
and tires installed on the vehicle are the specified size and parts. Brake performance and controllability may
be negatively affected when other parts than the specified are installed.
• Brake stopping distance may become longer and steering stability may be negatively affected, when tires in
different size and combination or other parts than the specified are used.
• When a radio (including wiring), antenna and antenna lead line are located near ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit), a malfunction or improper operation may occur for the control of VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function EBD function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function.
• When the following items are replaced by other parts than genuine parts or modified, ABS warning lamp,
brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, and the control may not operate normally for VDC
function, TCS function, ABS function EBD function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake
assist function.

• When suspension, tire and brake component parts are excessively worn or deteriorated and the vehicle is
B
driven, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, and the control may
not operate normally for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function EBD function, brake limited slip differen-
tial (BLSD) function and brake assist function.
• ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, when only front wheel or rear C
wheel is rotated using a free roller. This is not a malfunction, because it is caused by wheel speed difference
between wheel that is rotated and wheel that is not rotated. In this case, perform self-diagnosis after driving,
check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory. D
CAUTION:
• Be sure to wait of 10 seconds after turning power switch OFF or ON.
• Turn power switch from OFF → ON before self-diagnosis. Repeat two or more times.
• Set the vehicle to READY. E
• Drive the vehicle at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approx. 1 minute.
• Turn the power switch OFF → ON → OFF after erase self-diagnosis result.
• When power supply voltage is not normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp BRC
turn ON. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) stops control for VDC function, TCS function, ABS func-
tion EBD function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function. Ordinary brake
operates. After power supply returns to normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning
lamp turn OFF. The control becomes operative for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function EBD function, G
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function.
• Brake pedal vibrates and operation sound occurs during sudden acceleration and cornering, when VDC
function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function or brake assist function is operated. H
This is not a malfunction because it is caused by VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function or brake assist function that is operated normally.
• VDC warning lamp may turn ON and VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) func-
tion and brake assist function may not normally operate, when driving on a special road the is extremely I
slanted (bank in a circuit course). This is not a malfunction if the status returns to normal for VDC function,
TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function after the traction motor
is started again. In this case, perform self-diagnosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory. J
CAUTION:
• Be sure to wait of 10 seconds after turning power switch OFF or ON.
• Turn power switch from OFF → ON before self-diagnosis. Repeat two or more times.
• Set the vehicle to READY. K
• Drive the vehicle at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approx. 1 minute.

VDC FUNCTION
VDC FUNCTION : System Description INFOID:0000000010120032

• Side slip or tail slip may occur while driving on a slippery road or intending an urgent evasive driving. VDC
function detects side slip status using each sensor when side slip or tail slip is about to occur and improves
vehicle stability by brake control and motor torque control during driving.
• In addition to ABS function, EBD function and TCS function, target side slip amount is calculated according
to steering operation amount from steering angle sensor. By comparing this information with vehicle side slip
amount that is calculated from information from yaw rate/side/decel G sensor and wheel sensor, vehicle driv-
ing conditions (conditions of understeer or oversteer) are judged and vehicle stability is improved by brake
force control on all 4 wheels and motor torque control.

JSFIA0894GB

• VDC function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating VDC OFF switch. In this case,
VDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON.
• Control unit portion automatically improves driving stability by performing brake force control as well as
motor torque control, by transmitting drive signal to actuator portion according to difference between target
side slip amount and vehicle side slip amount
• VDC warning lamp blinks while VDC function is in operation and indicates to the driver that the function is in
operation.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in VDC function, the control is suspended for VDC
function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function and brake assist function. The vehicle
status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function and brake assist function. However, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally.
Refer to BRC-53, "Fail-safe".
NOTE:

• By preventing rear wheel slip increase through rear wheel brake force (brake fluid pressure) control that is
electronically controlled when slight skip on front and rear wheels are detected during braking, stability dur-
ing braking is improved.
• EBD function is expanded and developed from conventional ABS function and corrects rear wheel brake
force to appropriate level by electronic control according to load weight (number of passengers).

JPFIC0142GB

• During braking, control unit portion compares slight slip on front

and rear wheels by wheel speed sensor signal, transmits drive sig-
nal to actuator portion when rear wheel slip exceeds front wheel
slip for the specified value or more, and controls rear wheel brake
force (brake fluid pressure) so that increase of rear wheel slip is
prevented and slips on front wheel and rear wheel are nearly
equalized. ABS control is applied when slip on each wheel
increases and wheel speed is the threshold value of ABS control or
less.

ACTIVE TEST
The active test is used to determine and identify details of a malfunction, based on “Self Diagnosis Result” and
data obtained in the DATA MONITOR. In response to instructions from CONSULT, instead of those from ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit) on the vehicle, a drive signal is sent to the actuator to check its opera-
tion.
CAUTION:
• Never perform ACTIVE TEST while driving the vehicle.
• Always bleed air from brake system before ACTIVE TEST.
• Never perform ACTIVE TEST when system is malfunctioning.
NOTE:
• When active test is performed while depressing the pedal, the pedal depressing stroke may change. This is
not a malfunction.
• “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed approx. 10 seconds after operation start.
• When performing active test again after “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed, select “BACK”.
• ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp may turn ON during active test. This is not a malfunction.

the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD)
function and brake assist function. However, EBD function is operated normally. N
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard the same as in the normal condition, because self-diagnosis is per-
formed when power switch turns ON and when vehicle initially starts.

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
